Gluten-Free Peanut Butter & Banana Stuffed French Toast Recipe
RECIPE PREPARED BY ABBY LANGER
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
- 8 slices Promise Gluten Free Soft White Loaf
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into slices
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, plus more to taste
- Butter for frying
PREPARATIONS
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, and vanilla.
- Soak bread in egg mixture briefly (soaking too long will make the bread brittle).
- Heat a large skillet on medium heat and melt butter in the pan.
- Fry each slice of bread, flipping once, until both sides are golden.
- Lay one slice of bread on each plate, slather with peanut butter, and layer the banana slices on top. Top with a second slice of bread and more banana slices.
- Serve with maple syrup.
FUZION WINE PAIRINGS
Fuzion wines from Argentina are meant to be fun, fresh, and fabulous! These two white wines are the ideal companion to your brunch festivities and celebrations. Super Wine Girl approved these wines are based with the Chardonnay grape which will add elegance and depth to the pairing with French toast. These wines are gluten-free and the Fuzion organic Chardonnay is also vegan. The chardonnay grape in this wine compliments the peanut butter and banana in both the aromas and on the final palate taste profile. So put on your apron, pour a glass, and get started!
